Both the 5th and 14th Amendments contain the same 11 word phrase to define the term "Due Process'. Here it is:
No one shall be "deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law."
Now here are some very important dates relevant to Due Process.:
The 5th amendment was ratified in 1791
The 14th amendment was ratified in 1868.
The first Office of Immigration was established in 1891.
So let those dates sink in. The "Due Process" clause was written 100 YEARS BEFORE THE POSSIBILITY OF A PERSON BEING AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT. It was repeated again in the 14th Amendment to specifically defend the rights of freed slaves who were GRANTED US Citizenship.
I contend that these facts SUMMARILY INVALIDATE the claim that an illegal immigrant TODAY has the same due process rights as a US CITIZEN.
If you disagree, present a cogent argument as to why an illegal immigrant today has the same due process rights as a US citizen.
